Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 “Yellow/Black” Review: The Icon That Never Quits

D Rose 11

Derrick Rose's numbers are coming back. We're not talking about sneaker sales, but his on court figures since going through a massive dip in his career. The D Rose sneaker line is moving along with an eleventh model boasting five colors. The former MVP doesn't have as much name power in the sneaker industry as Lebron James and Kyrie Irving, but some will back him on the name he'd made with the Chicago Bulls. 

Injuries have impacted his game play, but strong showings in 2018-2020 is helping him stand out more in Adidas' circle of basketball sponsorships. Pre injury Derrick Rose was hype. Fans will remember his ferocious speed and ability to run through the opposition all the way to the hoop. If he had stayed in prime form and in Chicago, perhaps his sneaker line would be competing with the likes of James, Irving and other greats in the western world. 

Overseas, though, the D Rose line is boasting super star figures. It's been available in China months ago, and we're now getting a release on December 5th, a couple of days from now. 

Coincidentally, five colorways will be available for $120 USD each. The options are unique, having their own color themes, and we hear they have backstories. Everyone loves back stories, and that's the trend with basketball players in recent years, which makes for less generic sneakers. 

The D Rose 11 colorways aren't too crazy either. They're mostly two-toned sneakers with beige, black, red hues and some others as pictured below. The colors and patterns aren't meaningless or just for show, but are themed after things and memories close to Rose, bits of his life, his mother and his home town city of Chicago. The inspirational sneakers feature textile uppers, with the word "Lightstrike" making an appearance on the midsoles. 

The D Rose 11 will be available on December 5th.

Jalen Hurts’ “Jawn Air” Jordan 11 Cleats: A Custom Tribute to Philly Swagger on the Field

  Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn’t just lead his team to victory—he did it with style that screamed Philly from every angle. As the Birds took on their opponents in a hard-fought Week 4 clash, all eyes weren’t just on Hurts’ pinpoint passes and elusive scrambles; they were glued to his feet. Rocking a pair of pristine white Air Jordan 11 cleats emblazoned with “Jawn Air” on the tongue, Hurts turned the gridiron into his personal runway, blending NFL grit with sneaker culture flair. The cleats, a player-exclusive (PE) design from Jordan Brand, quickly went viral on social media, with fans and sneakerheads alike dubbing them “fire” and “cold” in equal measure.  Philadelphia’s own Eliot Shorr-Parks captured the moment on X, sharing a close-up snap that highlighted the custom detailing, while Complex Sneakers broke it down as a fresh drop in Hurts’ growing lineup of personalized kicks.  But what makes these Jordan 11s more than just another game-day ...
